FOOTIE linesman Douglas Ross has hilariously responded after tripping over his own feet during yesterday's Scottish Cup final.

The Tory MP was caught on camera stumbling during the second half of Celtic‘s 2-0 victory over Motherwell.

Goals from Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham secured a Double Treble for the Hoops.

But it wasn’t such a great afternoon for Ross who comically fell as the ball came rolling towards him.

The tumble caused uproar on social media at the time and Ross has today responded with a joke of his own, claiming it was all a pre-planned stunt for his wife.

He said on Twitter: "Yesterday marked eight years since I went on my first date with my wife. That day I fell head over heels for her.

"Yesterday in a highly choreographed and skilful re-enactment I proved I could remember anniversaries. That's my story Guv and I'm sticking to it."
